They want to get rid of the hunting programs
PROTECTING HUNTING AND ARCHERY PROGRAMSJoseph - When I was a kid, my grandfather gifted me my first membership to the National Rifle Association. Now that I’m a dad, I love teaching my own kids about responsible gun ownership and spending time with them at the range. It’s a family tradition that we all cherish. That’s why I was angry to learn that President Biden’s Department of Education had blocked funding for sportsman programs in public schools. Thankfully, the U.S. House of Representatives took

Drag shows in Abraham Lincoln Cultural Center
NO ENCORE FOR DRAG SHOW GRANTSJoseph - The federal government does not have any money. Every dollar that is spent by Washington was earned by an American who woke up, went to work, and earned it. That’s why the State Department’s asinine decision to spend more than $20,000 tax dollars on drag shows geared towards Ecuadorian youth is such a slap in the face. To add insult to injury, the cultural center that hosted the shows is named after none other than Abraham Lincoln. It’s hard to imagine that one

Dear Fellow Floridian, Yesterday, after weeks of Majority Leader Chuck Schumer refusing to put my Federal Disaster Responsibility Act up for a vote, I went to the Senate floor make the request myself. This isn’t controversial or political, but Senate Democrats blocked my request because they believe that disaster aid for Florida families and our fellow Americans should be tied to Ukraine aid. That’s clearly wrong. By blocking my request for a vote, Democrats further delayed approval of desperately needed

Unconstitutional gun-confiscating power grab

In 2019, Beto O’Rourke, a Democrat from Texas, said the quiet part out loud when he told voters, “hell, yes, we're going to take your AR-15, your AK-47.” But the Constitution is clear: the right to bear arms shall not be infringed. That’s kept far-left activists from confiscating guns outright, and our judicial system has upheld the second amendment time after time. The result:

In case that wasn’t already abundantly clear, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) announced last week that it was looking for more than a dozen migrants from countries like Uzbekistan who had entered the country with help from a smuggler who had ties to ISIS. The southern border is like the United States’ Achilles heel, and our enemies know it. In the first eight months of Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, 125

Recently I’ve been having flashbacks to my days as a soldier… In my experience, the day after an attack is the most critical point in a mission. You can't hesitate. It is critical to rally and respond as quickly as possible. Without immediate retaliation, the enemy will get away. Our freedom has been threatened. Radicals arraigned an American President in court, multiple times. It was a direct attack on the America First movement and everything we
